Not a very good photo of salo. Way too much meat.

Also, where's the kvas?!

It's a drink, not food. Doesn't count.

Only a very few beers are "food." And Russian ones aren't it.

They're definitely used as meal replacements, culturally. ;)

Meh. Beer trumps kvas in alcohol content.

okay, I'll bite, what is kvas?

insaint May 30 2009, 21:02:05 UTC

It's a fermented bread-based fizzy drink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvas

Delicious, depending on how it's made. :)

interesting... can't image what that would taste like but the rest of the links leave me with the impression the Russian palate goes in for rich earthy if uncomplicated flavours...

Yeah, I think that's a good way to describe it.
